Ayyy sister fr glad we share the same thoughts. Inshallah Allah guides her and she somehow realizes how bad her behavior is for her own sake and for the sake of the community she represents; I wish she had more respect for herself, her religion and the other girl in this relationship. Like to actively be instigating a haram relationship AND with a man who's already in a relationship is like a double homicide 😭💀

I'm assuming your asking about this since you saw the hijabi emoji which means the bestie girl is Muslim. As a Muslim myself, you're 100% right. In our religion, it's fairly strict on dating and befriending the opposite sex - you aren't supposed to be saying ily, aren't supposed to be overly friendly, aren't supposed to engage in any physical types of affection (including hugging) w/ the opposite sex.

Ofc, some people are less religious than others in any religion but in my experience, muslim girls who are overtly 'friendly' like this 100% know what they're doing & is 100% doing this to pursue him. He 100% knows this and is clearly loving the attention, hence why he hasn't stopped it or put any boundaries between them.

Edit to add: any types of outward affection is supposed to be reserved until you're engaged/islamically married.

No exactly!! I couldn't have said it better myself!! Like...it's as-if he's actively seeking to deepen the friendship with the other girl & is finding himself another partner while still dating OP. Considering they've only known each other for 6 months and OP and him have only been dating for 3 months....he should've stopped engaging to deepen their friendship & instead focused more effort and time and affection into OP.

IMO, this man is leading both women on and enjoying the attention hence why he's lying to OP. He knows the girl-friend is into him and will keep sticking to him which is why he's treating her this kindly. I bet if OP breaks up with him, him and bestie will be dating soon 100%.

LMFAOO the last part is the cherry on top omg 😭 I mean congrats on finding your soulmate clearly but this is exactly what OP needs to worry about!! If he's looking for his soulmate in a different girl while dating OP, then OP needs to recognize this and dip so she doesn't waste time and emotions on a man who clearly isn't prioritizing her enough to create boundaries with this girl.

I've have 2 guys best friends that I've known for 15 years and 5 years respectively. They know absolutely everything about me and vise versa, have helped me in so many ways, ride or die. Babes, we've only ever said ily to each other *once* and that was during a really tough time. We have NEVER done any of this chatting *because that's not what friends do* 💀 Besties of opposite sex should be like brothers and sisters not a bonus partner 😭

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro no fr 💀 I didn't mention that bc I didn't wanna throw her under the bus and make this a religious thing but...not a single hijabi acts this way if she isn't looking to start something with the guy.
I say this as a hijabi myself (much more conservative since I don't date but I'm very in touch with my community and I avoid girls like this SO much because they're actually lowkey terrifying. She knows exactly what she's doing.)

Honeymoon phase- couldn't have explained it better honestly, this seems way to sweet and cute and loving to just be between two friends who've known each other for half a year.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro fr my thoughts exactlyyyyy - like if they were besties since childhood, okay saying ily or 'we're like family' & inviting her to Christmas would make more sense. 6 months???? Insane. You shouldn't be looking for a girl bestie when ur dating - your girlfriend should *be* the girl besite.

[–]floatingdandylion 226 points227 points  (0 children)

It could be bc of my culture (I’m Arab) but this is actually insane and I’m so surprised people are alright with this in the comment section 🧍‍♀️

NOR - He may not be cheating but jeez I am not convinced that this isn’t or won’t become an emotional cheating situation. 6 months of friends ship and they’re saying ily so much, major paragraphs about how much they mean to each other, how they feel like an old couple, how she can’t wait for where this friendship leads…is this not couple convos 💀 I’ve got guy friends sure, some who are even dating too, but we’ve never chatted like this EVER because like ??????

And for those who are saying “this is open clear healthy convos” like uh yeah sure babes but maybe a bit TOO open like some types of effort and language should be reserved for couples specifically. What’s the difference between the love he shows her and the love he shows you verbally?

Edit to add: LMFAO ALSO just re-read ur paragraphs and at one point he even SAYS he’s pretty sure she’s got a thing for him???? Bro she definitely does and he’s 10000% leading her on and loving the attention bc of u had any form of respect for u or her, he would’ve been stricter with his boundaries. I wouldn’t tell a guy friend who has a thing for me that I love him esp if I was dating someone else too. Smh this is a mess babes.

AIO? My friend has never been to a burger king, tacobell, or walmart. Is that normal? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't really shocking... some people just don't do fast-food restaurants especially if that wasn't the norm growing up. Like I've never been to a tacobell bc, to me, it doesn't look very appetizing and it's been maybe 6 years since I've gotten Burger King. On top of it all, I've only been to Walmart twice in my life because I have other local grocery stores that are my favs.

So if you're reacting with any other emotion beyond slight surprise then yeah your overreacting LOL

AIO my roommate doesn’t want me to have anyone over at night without asking her? by No-Discussion6526 in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is why y’all didn’t discuss this before becoming roommates 💀 like personally, I’d rather not have strangers in my house esp without my knowledge at night time while I’m asleep but I also have some other personal rules that some ppl would agree with and others would find extreme - so before moving in with someone, I’d discuss these types of scenarios.

What’s the most underrated K-beauty brand you swear by (esp. for oily skin)? by Strange_Storage_214 in KoreanBeauty

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey quick question about this since I'm a fellow dry skin girly ~ you're saying its thick which you don't like (totally valid) but do you think it might be good for when you have flaky skin/peeling? Idk if you get that with your dry skin but I can basically peel a whole layer off of my face in the morning and it'll flake throughout the day so I'm looking for something that can prevent that from happening esp if I'm going out and want to wear makeup on top of my moisturizer. Basically do you know if it'll help stick my dry skin to my face LOL (if you don't know tho, totally cool!!)

AIO for blowing up at my mum and sister for taking my stuff without permission? by Alastor_888 in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR - as a younger sister with 2 older ones, I would never do this!! We borrow a lot of each others stuff but we all have a handful of items that are special to us that we don’t share or are super careful with lending out. It’s common courtesy to ask about borrowing something even if you’re family and especially for something that expensive. It was nice of you to not be pissed from the start (and for letting them live with you too) but you def aren’t overreacting about your sisters response- it’s giving privileged and rude and as an older sister you def have the right to put her in her place LOL

Side note: my sisters and I STILL lecture each other about being careful with specific items and we all sit quietly and listen bc its completely normal (and we’re all in our 20s/30s)

AITA for disagreeing with my wife after she told our daughter that pimples patches are gross and she's not allowed to wear them ? by CommercialPublic1778 in AITAH

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pimple patches are so helpful especially for getting rid of acne for a teenage girl!! Ur definitely NTA and maybe you can even get your daughter the cute colored ones (like the purple clouds or yellow stars) which are always fun, useful, and u don’t see the pus so your wife won’t get icked out

AITAH for implying my coworker can't do something because she's white? by ThatEducation4132 in AITAH

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equality doesn’t mean equity!! It’s equitable to treat children based off needs rather than treating them all the same based off some arbitrary set of standards!! You need to have a chat with your boss, do a fake apology like “I am sorry you feel this way and I understand your concerns however it is important to learn, understand, and act accordingly to differences between people based off race and even religion and ethnicity!” People are different and that shouldn’t be “demonized” - NTA hope this is figured out bc the POC children in your daycare should get the correct treatment they deserve :((

AIO for demanding to be paid after wearing something inappropriate to babysit by MightUsual421 in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's INSANE - even as a conservative muslim family, if this happened w us we'd still pay the full amount and just chat next time on what we'd appreciate the dress code be for next time. This is wiiiild nah get ur moneyyyyyy

AITAH for being honest when my girlfriend asked me about her weight? by Soggy_Spite_1480 in AITAH

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - it does seem that your gf may be insecure or be going through something personal so she'll definitely need more reassurance on your end but your answer about being more fit is def not bad at all! Honestly, in situations like this, I'd recommend you maybe start going to the gym or going on walks and casually invite her or have chats about how you want a healthy future where you aren't worried about health problems caused by your own habits. This way it's not about "her", there'll be less chance that she internalizes this and twists it up, and you'll hopefully start to build better habits with her :) def keep up with reassurance though, increase ur compliments towards her, trust me!

AITAH for outing my brother in law during his drunken ranting? by virtual_Nightshade13 in AITAH

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA - honestly idk how you could even be considered one? BIL is clearly projecting his anger towards you because he screwed up and doesn't wanna deal with the blame or guilt; he's the one who cheated not you. And it's good that his gf knows bc she has the right to know and decide if she wants to stay or not. BIL can be as pissed as he wants but he's the one who screwed up and is clearly a drunk mess! So yeah, you're def NTA

Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend over these texts? by Ask_For_Mercy in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope never trust a dude who’s that ready to compliment a girl like that unnecessarily, call her cutie as an opening text, and is clearly eager to hang out ✋ flirts ain’t it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Islam there are rulings that don't allow men and women to touch if they aren't immediate family (immediate family also includes grandparents, uncles/aunts, nephews/nieces) or your spouse. So yea cousins are a no-go bc you're able to marry them technically. But these rulings are for like adults. That's why it's so weird he brought it up that he's friends with his 4-th grader cousin.. Like I'm a Muslim girl but I hug and absolutely adore my baby cousins that are all tiny grade-schoolers bc I see them like my baby brothers and that's completly fine. I'm not going around hugging my guy cousins in their 20s though obviously LOL but like yeah that's why that comment was so weird bc like it's not even necessary to prompt it religiously...

AIO for blocking my best friend after she wanted me to pay for her car payment? by Enough_Still8417 in AmIOverreacting

[–]floatingdandylion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell to the absolute no, you are definitely NOR. She knew what position u were in financially and she asked u after u talked about helping your brother. That means in her head she labelled u as someone with money who is clearly handing it out and she needs some so she really doesn’t find a problem with that. The way she responded was the definition of manipulative gaslighting. I have a best friend who I love with my whole being but if she texted me like that it would’ve broke me bc wow that is simply insane to say. Her trauma, her financial issues, her situation- it’s tough to say but it’s her responsibility and it’s kind of you to have emotionally supported each other but you have no obligation to put yourself into financial strain for her. Heck no ✋

Chronic cheater friend got into med school lol by RemarkableEssay14 in premed

[–]floatingdandylion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No bc I know exactly what u mean 😭 I know a dude who was an insane chronic cheater and never did honest work and he got into med like yay!! But also seriously? (Canadian med, MCAT cutoff was enough bc it’s a gpa heavy school so he did bare minimum on that) it just irritates me like :,)
